Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable. A one-inch oval area of fine spiderweb craquelure is present in the central quadrant, at the point where the two arms of the figure meet. Under ultraviolet light inspection, areas of inpainting measuring approximately 1 inch in diameter become apparent in each of the corners of the board. An additional vertical spot of inpainting measuring approximately 1/2 inch in length is becomes apparent at the extreme upper center edge, above the figure.
